No Armor Render
by ceo44
No Armor Render lets a player hide worn armor from their own view and from other players, while the armor's protection stays active.
What it does
The mod visually hides wearable armor on the player model, including the first-person hands, and it can hide the player's own items as well. Armor protection keeps working while the armor is hidden, and the 3D skin layers continue to render. Settings can be turned on or off, and the default settings button is H.
Only the client needs the mod, because the change is purely visual. Forge and NeoForge are supported, with files for 1.15.2 – 1.21.1 across seven release versions. Latest files are 1.0.0 for 1.21.1, published 2026-07-09. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Hide worn armor
Armor pieces can be hidden on the player model, so the character appears without them while the protection still applies.
Other players' armor
Armor worn by other players can be hidden, and first-person hands can be hidden separately.
Customizable settings
Toggles let each player decide what to hide, and the default settings button H restores the defaults.
